do we need fema? do we need this sort of overarching -- the federal government coming in when -- should states really take the bulk of this -- >> i will make a couple of observations, economic, political, constitutional. economic it is rather obvious. atlantic city shuts down loses a fortune. the stock exchange is shut down, loses a fortune. close the federal government, save money because the government wastes money when people come to work. that's the economic argument. the political argument is very interesting because mitt romney said in the republican primaries when he was appealing to a more conservative audience, than the general electorate, he would abolish fema. he was asked last week if he would abolish fema, he didn't answer directly, but his campaign said we stand by what we said on fema. constitutionally, and i know it is tough to say this in the face of people losing their properties and their lives in danger because of a storm, nowhere is fema justified. nowhere is the federal governmen

the fema director, fugate, did talk with officials. this is what happened in the state of florida when it happened in 2004. they moved polling places and got generators where it was necessary to open precincts. and by the way, the federal government reimbursed the state for those costs. that is why it came up, because state and local officials asked mr. fugate if they could get reimbursed with federal tax dollars and he said that yes, that would be the case. that would be step one, a delay, and next, it is not up to the states, it would be a case by case. >> these early reports where we're getting where we can't get pictures yet out of the area just north of new york city is of some catastrophic damage, trees still down, over the wires, arcing wires, so we're in for a long couple of days. chuck todd in the west wing, of the briefing room at the white house. chuck, thanks. we'll be right back after the break. our coverage will continue right after this. ♪ with a low national plan premium... ♪ ...and copays as low as one dollar... â™
